Ingredients

2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 head green cabbage, shredded
1 cup julienne carrots
1 cup julienne snow peas
1 tablespoon corn starch
1/4 cup soy sauce
8 egg roll wrappers
Peanut oil, for deep frying
1/4 cup dry mustard
1/4 cup water
Cilantro leaves, garnish

Directions

In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the sesame and canola oil. Saute cabbage for 2 minutes. Add carrots and snow peas. Cook an additional 1 minute.

Whisk together cornstarch and soy sauce until smooth. Stir into vegetable mixture. Cook until sauce comes to a boil and is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.

Lay the egg roll skins on a flat surface and lightly brush edges with water. Place 1/8 of the filling at one end of each skin, leaving a 1/4-inch border at the top and sides. Roll wrapper over filling, tucking in the ends after the first roll.

Heat 3-inches of peanut oil in a large, deep saucepan. When the oil is hot, about 350 degrees F, fry the egg rolls until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the fryer and drain on paper towels. Season with Essence.

To serve, slice each egg roll in half, diagonally and place on each serving plate. Combine dry mustard with water. Drizzle each egg roll with the hot mustard. Garnish with cilantro leaves.

I add 1 lb ground beef to this recipe and it tastes great! I now use this recipe instead of my old family recipe when making... egg rolls. Thanks Emeril!Read more

Super easy good Egg Rolls
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My family love egg rolls. So when I try this recipe well they could not get enough. I have added a twist every now and then... by adding pork or chicken. Either way they are great.Read more

Takes some time the first time but a wonderful tasty vegetarian dish. We baked the egg rolls instead of frying to keep it... healthier and they came out perfect.Read more
